Sokikom

Sokikom is a Common Core aligned game-based math program for K-6 students. Students can work on Sokikom individually, as a group, or as a whole class in a collaborative multiplayer game. Teachers can assign specific standards to students or launch a small or whole group lesson. Sokikom requires a per student license or a site license for sites with more than 300 students.

Approach

When a student signs in to Sokikom, they choose their avatar and take a diagnostic test. This test ensures that students receive game problems and lessons appropriate to their level. As students complete lessons and games, Sokikom recognizes the new skills they learned, and adjusts the lesson and difficulty. The program builds in game mechanics to the math problems. For example, students may find themselves searching for gold with a pirate captain, with each problem bringing them closer to the treasure. Multi-player games allow students to work together to solve problems. As students complete exercises, they earn Soki Coins which they can turn in for accessories for their avatars.

When teachers sign into Sokikom, they are greeted with the virtual classroom and teacher dashboard. Here, they can find individual performance records for each student broken into each Common Core standard. If a student is struggling, the teacher can re-assign a module to the student and specifically track their progress in order to determine who needs additional assistance. Teachers can also find additional resources on the Sokikom website to assist the teacher in implementing Sokikom’s curricula.

Outside of math classes, Sokikom allows teachers to award (or deduct) “Class Bucks” to students to supplement their Soki Coins for behaviors including creativity and remaining on task.

IMPLEMENTATION

Sokikom can be used on the iPad and any modern browser, though Flash is required.
